Things are moving along.

I just got a call from okc asking about my DD-214 so they are going over apps. They asked me if I had a different one because apparently mine is a member 3 not 4. I looked and sure enough somehow I have a copy 3 not 4. They have accepted the same dd-214 in the past. I hope they accept this time as well. Anybody else have a copy 3? It still has medals, awards, enter/sep dates, and honorable.

You need a member 4. It has your re-enlistment code on there. It is a small section at the very bottom. Probably should say RE-1A or something like that.

I know I'm probably splitting hairs on this one but it has my seperation code and reentry code. Is the reentry code the same the reenlistment code?

I got a call today as well...Sad thing is I missed the call and checked my message around 3:30 central time. Aviation Careers Division closes up shop at 4:30...begin dilemma!

The lady left a call back number and an email address. She said my DD-214 was unacceptable because it wasn't the member copy 4. So I dug up my "Official Orders" (aka separation orders) and terminal leave paper work and faxed it to both numbers and her email address...(again)

Forty-five minutes later, 4:15 central time, I finally get a hold of someone at Aviation Careers Division! Information received (for the second time in a month...) 4:20, I get a hold of the lady who called me. She said I'm good to go!

But, I'm VERY thankful someone took the time to identify a potential problem with my information and contact me. They could've just placed my application in the shredder...

Thank you ACD!

Which copy did you have? I had to email her a copy and she said I was ok. The copy I have has all the info that the member 4 has. And they have accepted that same DD-214 before when I got a TOL before I turned down amarillo. I know that was dumb to turn down a job. But it was 2008 and they were giving jobs out like candy then.

I'm still in the military, I just submitted a 'statement of service' and they said that would suffice.

I don't have a DD-214...I faxed the DD-214 "worksheet" along with my separation orders and terminal leave paperwork. I'm still active duty as well...but not for long!

I thought you submit your DD-214 to them once you get a TOL? What's the procedure here?

The latest VRA announcement that came out around August 8 I believe requires that you fax your member 4 copy of the DD 214. I believe you can also fax your separation orders if your still in. Either way you HAVE to fax something when you applied.

From the last VRA announcement:

If you applied under this announcement and have yet to submit the required documents, it'd probably be smart to send them over ASAP. I'm not sure if it's too late though as the announcement has closed, but might as well try.
